Last summer Father Hubbard. as he had done for three years prior, took four football players into Alaska for a long geological walk to the end of the Aleutian Islands. Their jaunt took them into the hearts of Aniakchak and Veniaminoff. There they pitched their tents, found in their subsequent explorations great spurts of steam issuing from cracks in the craters' icy floors. They put a pot of beans over one of the steam streams, baked them for dinner. Another characteristic of the region which made Father Hubbard know that the two great peaks were alive was the lava...
Return of Moses. Senator Johnson's forces-for-delay last week received support from two new quarters. Senator George Higgins Moses of New Hampshire, potent president pro tempore of the Senate returned from a European jaunt to declare: "What I don't understand is all the rush in putting the treaty through the Senate.

Up to last week the Hilltoppers were leading the Western Conference with five victories and no defeats and had chalked up three more wins against amateur hockey clubs of Wisconsin and Minnesota. They have lost only one contest...
...short, the Vagabond means that void between the end of examinations and the beginning of the next term. Most undergraduates have anywhere from a week to ten days of freedom with nothing in prospect but a bacchanalian wassail or a scant jaunt to the hearth of his childhood. Both of these have their disadvantages. The first, purely aside from constitutional controversy, is bound to grow tiresome as a steady diet, and the latter very likely proves an unwonted strain on the purse-strings...
